here was a great deal of confusion at the Edgartown Post Office Tuesday morning, where the service windows did not open until after 11:15 a.m.

The main Edgartown post office near the Triangle reopened Tuesday morning after a two-month closure because of water damage.

Records for the project at the Triangle show a pattern of mistakes and faulty construction since work began this winter. The building was closed abruptly on April 1 due to water damage.

The Edgartown post office will temporarily relocate to the former town library on North Water street in the next few weeks as town officials, the postal service and the building owner work to assess water damage that has left the post office closed since last Friday.

Frustration marked the Edgartown selectmen’s meeting over the situation at the Triangle, where the main post office has been closed since Friday.

The Edgartown Post Office has been closed since Friday morning and operations temporarily moved to Vineyard Haven because of water damage.

With the roof removed and construction underway on new apartments above the Edgartown Post Office, rainfall has led to two closures of the town post office in the last week.

Regina Weichert has come to dread the part of the day that brings
her to the Edgartown post office, and as she emerged from the facility
yesterday afternoon with a pile of mail, she could only sigh.

"Do you want to know how bad the line is?" she asked as
she made her way to her car. "It's terrible. It's
always terrible."
